Today I’m linking up with MCM Mama, My No Guilt Life and Run the Great Wide Somewhere for Tuesdays on the Run to talk about my dream races! Since I love to race both triathlons and running races I figured I’d pick my dream race for both disciplines. Triathlon: Lake Stevens 70.3 I love the Pacific Northwest… [Continue Reading]

Um…can you believe that it is almost April? That Easter is this weekend?? Does it feel like this year is flying by so far? It also feels like with spring coming that one pot meals and comforting soups will be going by the wayside soon in favour of freshly grilled seafood and salads. We had… [Continue Reading]

This past weekend I ran my first race since the Goofy Challenge in January, the Glencoe Icebreaker 10K. Thanks to patellar tendonitis and not running through all of February I wasn’t sure if I’d even still be able to run this race a few weeks ago. I came back slow and smart from my injury… [Continue Reading]

Friends, we have made it to another Thursday! That means it is time to share some random thoughts and link up with Amanda from Running With Spoons for Thinking Out Loud. I am racing this weekend! The Glencoe Icebreaker 10K is on Sunday. I am excited that the weather forecast looks great so far and… [Continue Reading]

Dogs can be funny companions when you are exercising. In our old house Finlay loved to join me in the garage when I would spin there. I’d bring his bed down and he’d curl up and snooze or chew on a bone. He was really content and just wanted to hang out. Peat is generally… [Continue Reading]

As part of our spring Team Tri Life triathlon camp last weekend we hiked up Sulphur Mountain in Banff National Park. By the time we got to the hike on Saturday afternoon we had done a Friday evening spin, plus a long run and a swim Saturday morning. No doubt we were feeling slightly fatigued! […]

Last week my husband was in charge of the meal planning and grocery shopping while I was out in Canmore for spring training camp. It felt a little strange not knowing what the plan was for the week! The top dish last week that was a complete knock out was this recipe from Top Chef […]

Here we are…it is Thursday again. That means it is time to link up with Amanda from Running With Spoons for Thinking Out Loud for some random thoughts! On Monday at physio I got permission to drop down to visits every other week! It is nice to see progress after going to twice per week […]

This past weekend I was in Canmore, Alberta for Team Tri Life‘s spring training camp. I committed to camp back in October or November and March seemed awfully far away at the time. As camp drew closer I became nervous. I didn’t feel prepared for a weekend of big volume training or even a 90 […]

Happy Thursday friends! I’m linking up with Amanda from Running With Spoons for Thinking Out Loud Thursday. I’m back to running! With every run I feel more confident that my knee is doing well. After taking most of February off due to injury I feel out of running shape though. Yesterday’s half hour run felt […]
